MX5 turbo on the road again.......

[4WayDiablo]

For the spare wheels too?

he has 5 sets of wheels for this car?

[Matt]

Really wouldn't surprise me. Have you seen how many spare cars he has?

[Fozzy]

Dust caps?

Well that was too easy, if you look at the blu dice at the back you can see the valve cap sticking out and if you look at middle white one you can jsut make out the hole i have drilled.

Lots of dice, as im sure people will nick them and need replacements, they are cheap enough.

Nice one on the cage, bit annoying if it's not tall enough though. Could you put some spacers in to raise it up but using longer bolts? Not sure if there are any safety implications with that though...

The cage is the maximum it can be with the hardtop on unless it was to be made to sit further forward which then there would be the chance oh head butting the side bars

Should sit like this

[Fozzy]

Really wouldn't surprise me. Have you seen how many spare cars he has?

Haha, yeah ide need more than 20 to use on all the wheels i own. I thought a set of purple would look good on your car Matt........

And LOL at the casino idea Phil i might have to set that up for camping.....

[4WayDiablo]

Haha i stand corrected... :-(

Purple win!!!! Hmmmm how much haha

[Fozzy]

I only have three purple ones im afraid, although i can find out how much 4 purple dice would be, wouldnt wanna make money on them as they are so easy to make, i think you can buy them for about £3 already made

[Matt]

Where? I want!!! Haha think I might remove all my stickers and start again with just purple ones lol proper purple theme then

Valve caps was my first thought, but as Phil said - there's far too many. Was joking about the bar to some extent, i'm not sure there's one in existence high enough to protect you two! It's fine, if she's going to roll just dive for Emma's lap.

I can't wait to fit them.



Got them second hand for half the price brand new, and was told less than a 1000miles on them since he got them in august but tbh they look brand new.

[4WayDiablo]

Mmmmm epic lows?

[Fozzy]

Low enough just not so low i take the sump out on a catseye

[4WayDiablo]

Haha but thats not the "mx-5 on coilies" way...

[Fozzy]

I need to be able to get on my drive without beaching it. And also need to get up curts drive when camping in summer....

[Curt]

Priorities are in order I see

Coilies look lurrvly

[mooey65]

Am liking this car more and more

[mark_airey]

[Fozzy]

Yes Curt priorities definitely to get it lowered on the new wheels by the time i put it back on the road in the summer.

Thanks Mooey, you will like it so much more once its all together and not just a pile of expensive things in the corner of my living room.

Mark - That video was up on the mx5nutz forum a while ago that guy is absolutely nuts. Only in america... If it was practical to have it that low i would, but i don't think it would last 5minutes.

[ginge191]

that video is what it feels like trying to get my car up before getting a low entry jack

[Poodle]

FLOL, mong never heard of air-ride?! Reckon you'll have them sorted in time for camping meet?

[mark_airey]

but "bags are for groceries".....................

static drop or GTFO IMO got to give the guy credit, it isn't going to get any lower than that is it!

Fozzy, its gotta be as low as it possibly can be while still being able to use it though!

[Scott]

Part of the awesome is knowing that the car is like that 24/7.

[Fozzy]

FLOL, mong never heard of air-ride?! Reckon you'll have them sorted in time for camping meet?

Depending when the camping is i hope to have it done, no doubt over easter when i should be working on my final project at uni i will be out fitting everything.

The aim is to lower it so the tyres fit the arch's and if i can get away with is maybe a tiny bit of tuck.

[Jonny b]

f*ck me what is the point having your car that low!! Is he going to have 2 guys walking alongside it all the time, first little bump he hits at speed and it's good bye sump lol

[Fozzy]

I keep thinking the same... I think we may be old Jonny...

[Jonny b]

Old!! Nah not me Liam me old mucker , cars like this are meant to be hammered down b roads I doubt you could hammer that anywhere ha ha it's just an expensive ornament

[THE_Liam]

I know what you mean. I'm after an MX5/Eunos once they get cheap after the summer, and I've driven loads of them. Anything other than better dampers just spoils the handling really, their just so well sorted as standard. Same with the MR2, my mate had a mk2 that he lowered about 50mm, it just ended up really tail happy and unstable...
